Application filed July 16, 1909. Serial No. 507,949.

Be it lrnown that I, SOLOMON H. Gononrae, citizen of the United States, residmg ln-the city of Chicago, county of Cook,

State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Pins, of which the following is a specification.

. This inventionrelates to improvements in hairpins and refers more particularly to improvements in that type of hairpin heretofore invented by me and patented December nevertheless durable; and which can bereadily formed from a singlepiece of twisted wire; to providela construction which is 29,-1903,1No. 748278. I 1 Among 'thesalient objects of the invention-are to provide a construction which is extremely economical in manufacture, and

entirely concealed when. placed in the hair and which is firmly held in position by. meansoi its peculiar construction; to pro-'- .v'irle a 'construction of the above character which permits of ready ingress to the hair- ."ithoilt tending to push upwardly through simple and. needs no description.

the hair.. and separate and disarrang'e the latter to provide a construction and in general to provide improved details of construc ,tion andarrangements in a deviceof the character referred to.

' .The invention consists in the matters hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.-

' and at their outer ends are joined together In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved device; Fig. 2 is a side view of the same; Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a slightly modified construction.

' Referring to'the d iawi'n gs 1, 1 desig ate the main legs 'of the hairpinwhich may or by a uniting loo portion 4:.- The inner ends of the inter-10c ting members 3 are twisted together by a single twist 5 as shown'in- Fig.

' 1 or by a plurality of twists as shown in Fig. 3. Each member 3 is provided intervmediate its ends with an ofi'set hump portion 6 these hump portions being of course in register with each other- The loop por-. tion 4: of the inter-locking member is in alinement with the legs 1 z. e. lies in the same plane with the latter. It has been found in practice that this is of especial importance for the reason that it prevents the hairpin when inserted in the hair from forcing its way upwardly, through the lat- 'ter; and thus disarranging the coifiure. At

the same time the arrangement described is such that the hairpin willalways slip easily into the exact position in which the wearer I claim as my invention;

1. A hairpin formed from a single piece of wire and comprising a pairof outer leg portions, a central leg'portion'formed by doubling the central portion of said wire and twisted as to its inner end, said central leg having a hump formed in its outer half and terminating in an eye the sides of which lie substantially in the same plane from the apex of the hump to the extremity of the 2. A. hairpin 'formed from a single piece of wire and comprising a pair of outer legs, a central leg formed by doubling the wire centrally, twisted as to its inner end and having a hump between said twistedportion and its outer end, and terminating in an eye, the sides of which lie in substantially straight lines from the apex of the hump to the extremity of the eve.
